< Isaiah 64 >
1 If only You would rend the heavens and come down, so that mountains would quake at Your presence,
Ìwọ ìbá fa ọ̀run ya kí o sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá, tí àwọn òkè ńlá yóò fi wárìrì níwájú rẹ!
2 as fire kindles the brushwood and causes the water to boil, to make Your name known to Your enemies, so that the nations will tremble at Your presence!
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìgbà tí iná mú ẹ̀ka igi jó tí ó sì mú kí omi ó hó, sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá kí orúkọ rẹ le di mí mọ̀ fún àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ kí o sì jẹ́ kí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè kí ó wárìrì níwájú rẹ!
3 When You did awesome works that we did not expect, You came down, and the mountains trembled at Your presence.
Nítorí nígbà tí o bá ṣe àwọn ohun ẹ̀rù tí àwa kò nírètí, o sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá, àwọn òkè ńlá sì wárìrì níwájú rẹ̀.
4 From ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides You, who acts on behalf of those who wait for Him.
Láti ìgbà àtijọ́ kò sí ẹni tí ó gbọ́ rí kò sí etí kan tí ó gbọ́ ọ, kò sí ojú tí ó tí ì rí Ọlọ́run mìíràn lẹ́yìn rẹ, tí ó máa ń ṣe nǹkan lórúkọ àwọn tí ó dúró dè é.
5 You welcome those who gladly do right, who remember Your ways. Surely You were angry, for we sinned. How can we be saved if we remain in our sins?
Ìwọ a máa wá fún ìrànlọ́wọ́ àwọn tí wọn ń fi ayọ̀ ṣe ohun tó tọ́, tí ó rántí ọ̀nà rẹ. Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí a bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí dẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí wọn, inú bí ọ. Báwo ni a ó ṣe gbà wá là?
6 Each of us has become like something unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all wither like a leaf, and our iniquities carry us away like the wind.
Gbogbo wa ti dàbí ẹnìkan tí ó jẹ́ aláìmọ́, gbogbo òdodo wa sì dàbí èkísà ẹlẹ́gbin; gbogbo wa kákò bí ewé, àti bí afẹ́fẹ́, ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa ti gbá wa lọ kúrò.
7 No one calls on Your name or strives to take hold of You. For You have hidden Your face from us and delivered us into the hand of our iniquity.
Ẹnikẹ́ni kò pe orúkọ rẹ tàbí kí ó gbìyànjú láti dì ẹ́ mú; nítorí ìwọ ti fi ojú rẹ pamọ́ fún wa ó sì jẹ́ kí àwa ṣòfò dànù nítorí àwọn ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa.
8 But now, O LORD, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You are the potter; we are all the work of Your hand.
Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀, Olúwa, ìwọ ni Baba wa. Àwa ni amọ̀, ìwọ ni amọ̀kòkò; gbogbo wa jẹ́ iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ.
9 Do not be angry, O LORD, beyond measure; do not remember our iniquity forever. Oh, look upon us, we pray; we are all Your people!
Má ṣe bínú kọjá ààlà, ìwọ Olúwa, má ṣe rántí gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa títí láé. Jọ̀wọ́, bojú wò wá, ni a gbàdúrà, nítorí ènìyàn rẹ ni gbogbo wa.
10 Your holy cities have become a wilderness. Zion has become a wasteland and Jerusalem a desolation.
Àwọn ìlú mímọ́ rẹ ti di aṣálẹ̀; Sioni pàápàá di aṣálẹ̀, Jerusalẹmu di ahoro.
11 Our holy and beautiful temple, where our fathers praised You, has been burned with fire, and all that was dear to us lies in ruins.
Tẹmpili mímọ́ ológo wa, níbi tí àwọn baba wa ti yìn ọ́, ni a ti fi iná sun, àti ohun gbogbo tí í ṣe ìṣúra wa ti dahoro.
12 After all this, O LORD, will You restrain Yourself? Will You keep silent and afflict us beyond measure?
Lẹ́yìn gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí, Olúwa, ìwọ ó ha sì tún fi ara rẹ pamọ́ bí? Ìwọ ó ha dákẹ́ kí o sì fìyà jẹ wá kọjá ààlà bí?
